Seems there is an expensive active USB3 cable option and also an adapter that uses RJ45 adapters at either end to use a CAT5/6 cable between, although I’m not sure what the data rate would be? Curious as to what others have done. Any help greatly appreciated as I’m not electronically savvy in any way.

This is what you need. I've been using a 2x8m USB2 version for years. No issues at all. Everything goes through. Guiding, image capture, mount.
